Documentum/Centera Best Practices

Hi Ronald,

As far as I know we don’t have any specific method of pea file creation on Centera for Documentum, you can follow the normal pea file creation procedure. The rights to be granted for a pool and profile depends upon your business requirements, you can grant all rights or restrict them depending on you environment. Please find the procedure given below for the same.

I believe that Documentum does supports retention classes, please confirm the same with "Content Server"(Documentum) Support team as well

The steps for creating a PEA file are as follows:

Start the CLI.

Connect as a user with the accesscontrol role.

Issue the command: create profile

Where is the unique name of the profile.

For example, to create a profile named Finance, enter the following:

create profile Finance

At the Enable Profile prompt, type yes to enable the profile.

At the Set Data Access Capabilities prompt, type yes.

At the Profile Type prompt, type access.

At the Home Pool prompt, type the name of an existing pool to be the home pool for the profile or press Enter to select the default pool as the profile's home pool.

At the prompt that asks for the granted rights, type the rights that the profile needs to have for the home pool or press Enter to accept the current set of rights.

At the Profile-Metadata Capability prompt, enter yes if the profile has to support the storage and retrieval of custom metadata by the Profile-Driven Metadata tool.

At the Set Cluster Management Roles prompt, type no.

At the Profile Secret prompt, do one of the following:

Type generate or press Enter to automatically generate a password.

Type prompt to enter a password.

Type file to retrieve the password from an existing file.

Type y at the prompt to issue the command:

Issue the Command? (yes, no)[no]: y

Type yes at the prompt for the PEA file:

Establish a Pool Entry Authorization for application use? (yes, no) [no]: yes

You are prompted for the location of the PEA file.

Supply the drive, path, and filename of the PEA file in the format:

:\ \

Always specify the extension for the filename, such as .pea. This makes the file easier to identify on the local machine and also allows you to allocate a text editor to open all files with that extension.
